Free Web NovelChapter 154: Chapter 69: The Dog Emperor Absolutely Won’t Suffer a Loss
Feng Yi’s gaze met Song Yunzhao’s. Looking down at her, he took in the unease, anticipation, and hint of worry hidden in her eyes.
A moment later, Song Yunzhao lowered her head, looking a little self-conscious. She slowly nestled against his chest, a blush spreading from the tips of her ears all the way down her neck.
That radiant blush seemed to spread straight into Feng Yi’s heart. In that instant, he felt an emotion he had never experienced before churning within him. He subconsciously held his breath, his fingers curling into a fist. As his fingertips dug into his palm, the faint, sharp pain brought him back to his senses.
’I’ve already gone this far,’ Song Yunzhao thought. ’If the Emperor still doesn’t make a move, I can’t be the one to start undoing his clothes. That would be unacceptable. It would lack a maiden’s modesty. In the future, if the Emperor ever becomes displeased with me, he might look back on this and think my actions were wanton.’
’If he doesn’t move, what should I do?’
Song Yunzhao’s mind raced, but before she could come up with a plan, she found herself falling backward. When she came to her senses, she saw that Feng Yi had already pinned her on the bed.
’The Emperor has some moves! He actually pinned me to the bed!’
The critical hit from the Emperor’s peerless beauty, combined with being lethally pinned to the bed, made Song Yunzhao’s face turn completely red...
Feng Yi watched as she stared at him, seemingly stunned into silence. The corners of her eyes were still tinged red from crying, and her eyes glistened with moisture. As their gazes tangled, Feng Yi saw her cover her blazing-hot face with both hands.
Feng Yi’s mood instantly brightened.
He gently pulled Yun Zhao’s hands away. Their eyes met once more, only this time, Yun Zhao didn’t flinch away. Suppressing her girlish shyness, she held his gaze, looking at him steadfastly.
In that moment, Feng Yi saw it: her eyes held only him.
With a sweep of his hand, the Emperor let the bed curtains fall, enveloping them in the soft glow of the lamplight. ’This should be it,’ Song Yunzhao thought. She took the initiative, wrapping her arms around the Emperor’s neck. Tilting her head up slightly, she gently pressed her red lips to his.
The kiss seemed to break a spell. Feng Yi’s breathing grew ragged as he lowered his head and claimed Yun Zhao’s lips...
The lamplight flickered, and the bed curtains swayed gently. After a long while, Feng Yi’s voice came from within the canopy. "What’s this?"
Song Yunzhao immediately gasped. "Oh! How did that get here? It’s nothing, really."
"Let me see."
"You can’t."
"Let me see."
"How can you look at that? My aunt gave it to me..."
Song Yunzhao’s protest was cut short as he snatched it away. She covered her face, refusing to look at him.
Feng Yi hadn’t intended to snatch it, but the more Song Yunzhao refused to let him look, the more curious he became.
As it turned out, when he opened it... it was a Fireproof Map!
This was awkward.
Feng Yi was so mortified he felt he could have excavated an entire palace complex from sheer awkwardness.
Song Yunzhao inwardly breathed a long sigh of relief. ’He finally found it. The Fireproof Map was, in fact, something my aunt had secretly tucked into a gift when she came to the palace to visit me.’
She’d been shocked when she first saw it and, not daring to let any Palace Attendants see, had quickly hidden it away.
It was only today that she had suddenly remembered: the Emperor was a notorious germaphobe. The book mentioned that back when he was a Prince, he never had a palace maid to instruct him in carnal matters. After he became Emperor, it was even less likely that anyone would broach the subject.
The book didn’t detail every scene, of course. The censors were notoriously strict—everything below the neck was cut. It was always a case of "close your eyes, it’s nighttime; open them, it’s morning."
So, she had no idea how the Emperor in the book got through his amorous nights. Song Yunzhao definitely didn’t want the Emperor to look back on tonight as an unpleasant experience.
To spare the Emperor’s dignity, she had deliberately hidden the Fireproof Map from her aunt deep beneath the pillow. ’As expected of the male lead,’ she thought, ’he found it.’
’From here, things should proceed naturally. All I have to do is close my eyes and feign shyness, and the Emperor can take the lead. I absolutely will not utter a single word of protest. I’ll be sure to give him a top-tier experience and the most beautiful memory.’
Besides, Yun Zhao hadn’t just perfected her makeup. Her undergarments were also cleverly designed. The fabric cinched her waist, accentuating its slender, willow-like shape. Wrapped in pink, her chest was adorned with two embroidered, blooming peach blossoms.
The more brazen she acted in public, the more gentle and shy she became behind the bed curtains—delicate, graceful, and appearing almost too frail to bear the weight of her own clothes. How could such a woman fail to captivate Feng Yi?
Meng Jiuchang stood guard outside the hall. It was his first time at Wangyou Palace. Zhang Maoquan had accompanied the Emperor last night, but Meng Jiuchang, unable to rest easy, had rushed over in the middle of the night under the pretext of needing to wake His Majesty early in the morning.
